We dance to live,We live to dance! a phrase that as always been a guide line to understanding the human conscious mind when it comes to the physical languange and projected images in dance movements. We imply to extend our insight in movement in a giving space and time as cohesion in order to derive a certain connection that encircles the soul with the mind in dance stuctures.
